The CJRP and JRFC
files were merged to each other using facility ID and year in
ascending order. Specifically, CJRP 1999 was matched to JRFC 2000;
CJRP 2001 was matched to JRFC 2002; CJRP 2003 was matched to JRFC
2004; and CJRP 2006 was matched to JRFC 2006. CJRP 1997 was not
matched to a JRFC file.

National Juvenile Corrections
Data Summary

The Office of Juvenile Justice and
Delinquency Prevention sponsored three series of national juvenile
corrections data collections:

The CJRP
was administered for the first time in 1997. The CJRP replaced the
Census of Public and Private Juvenile Detention, Correctional, and
Shelter Facilities (formerly called the Juvenile Detention and
Correctional Facility Census series and also known as the Children in
Custody (CIC) census), which had been conducted since the early
1970s. The CJRP differs fundamentally from CIC in that the CIC
collected aggregate data on juveniles held in each facility (e.g.,
number of juveniles in the facility) and the CJRP collects an
individual record on each juvenile held in the residential facility to
provide a detailed picture of juveniles in custody. The companion data
collection to CJRP, the JRFC, is designed to collect information about
the facilities in which juvenile offenders are held.
